2010 SESSION
10102231DWHEREAS, localities currently use a variety of software applications with little attempt to coordinate the purchase or use of such software; and
WHEREAS, a significant amount of money could be saved by state and local governments if all local governments used the same core software, such as financial, planning, and public safety software; and
WHEREAS, such software could be supplemented to meet the unique needs of each locality; and
WHEREAS, a coordinated effort by the Commonwealth and its localities to develop such standard software package could be of benefit to all parties; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the Secretary of Technology be requested to study the feasibility of developing a standard software package for local governments.

The Secretary shall report on the feasibility of such an approach as well as the potential cost savings and a recommended implementation strategy.
All agencies of the Commonwealth shall provide assistance to the Secretary of Technology for this study, upon request.
The Secretary of Technology shall complete his meetings by November 30, 2010, and shall submit to the Governor and the General Assembly an executive summary and a report of its findings and recommendations for publication as a House or Senate document.
